Description: ------------ It could be really nice if it was possible to lookup which whois server to use with a specific TLD a list of TLD's and the whois server can be located here: http://www.math.utah.edu/whois.html

You don't need to use a html list, you can simply send a query to whois.iana.org which will return the details of the tld, including the whois server. However, this script uses xxx.whois-servers.net to lookup the correct server, you can use that.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PEAR itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PEAR, please visit http://pear.php.net/support/ as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PEAR. use the existing getDomainServer method: <?php require_once "Net/Whois.php"; $tld = "de"; // get information about this tld $whois = new Net_Whois; $data = $whois->getDomainServer($tld); echo $data; ?>
